Canadian speed skaters test out the Gangneung Oval

Canada’s long track speed skaters have been showing just how excited they are to be in South Korea this week, getting set to compete at the Gangneung Oval, just one year prior to PyeongChang 2018.

These athletes are eager to test out the Olympic venue for the first time at the 2017 ISU World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships, which begin on February 9, marking the one year countdown to the next Olympic Winter Games.
